"A painter of everyday messiness, the founder/editor of Create Magazine, and a soon-to-be host of her own podcast (that involves drinking with artists). Yep, we're day-drinking and interviewing each other!"

Sex Symbol is an exhibition representing symbols of sex from a woman's perspective, with ‘sex’ having a broad interpretation, including: femininity, sexuality, intimacy, and the physical act itself. The artists, who are all from the Philadelphia area, are: Nancy Hellebrand in collaboration with Shira Yudkoff, Judy Gelles, Ekaterina Popova and Phyllis Gorsen.

I am honored to have been able to participate in the first edition of New York's Other Art Fair. A few paintings found new homes and I met some incredible artists and collectors. Thank you for a fantastic weekend!

"Following a successful launch of The Other Art Fair in the creative heart of Brooklyn at Greenpoint's Brooklyn Expo Center on June 1-4, 2017, The Other Art Fair will return for it's second edition in the Summer of 2018.

Presented by Saatchi Art, the Fair showcases work by 110 talented emerging artists, each hand picked by a committee of Art World experts. Art lovers can visit the fair with the confidence that they are buying from the very best and most promising emerging artists in a unique and immersive experience."

We finally arrived in Skopelos and are soaking it all in. It's a gorgeous island with an amazing view, people and culture.

"Skopelos is a Greek island in the western Aegean Sea. Skopelos is one of several islands which comprise the Northern Sporades island group, which lies east of the Pelion peninsula on the mainland and north of the island of Euboea."

Traveling to Skopelos is not easy. In order to get to the island we had to make a stop at a neighboring town- Skiathos. We got there by a small plane and got to explore the charming coastal town.

"Skiathos, a Greek island in the northwest Aegean Sea, is part of the Sporades archipelago. It’s best known for its beaches and buzzing, youth-driven nightlife scene. The action centers around Skiathos Town, where bars and restaurants spill onto sidewalks along the old harbor and Papadiamanti street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare. Between town and the airport are many open-air, waterfront clubs."

On my way to Skopelos, Greece for an artist residency I had to made sure to make a stop at Athens. This city is charming, epic and incredibly inspiring. I wanted to document my journey and share my experiences that will lead to new work.
